WARNING:
EXHAUST GASES OF THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN
CHEMICALS THAT CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS
AND MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE
WARNING! NEVER CHANGE THE MACHINE. IMPROPER USE
OF THE DEVICE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL
PERSONAL INJURY.
Do not allow others to use this device unless they have been fully instructed, have read
and understood the device manual, and have been trained in the operation of the
device.
Prolonged use of the device exposes the user to shocks that can lead to
white finger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This
condition reduces the hand's ability to sense and regulate temperature,
causes numbness and heat sensations, and can lead to nerve and circulatory damage
and tissue death.
Not all factors leading to white finger disease are known. Still, cold weather, smoking,
and other conditions affecting the blood vessels and blood circulation, as well as
extensive or prolonged exposure to shocks, are mentioned as factors in the development
of white finger disease. To reduce the risk of white finger disease and carpal tunnel
syndrome, please note the following

Original User Manual FUXTEC FX-MT152/-MT152E/-MT252_rev16
10
● Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
● Take regular breaks.
All the above precautions cannot eliminate the risk of white finger disease or carpal
tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are, therefore, advised to closely monitor
the condition of their hands and fingers. Consult a doctor immediately if any of the
above symptoms occur.
The operating noise of the tool may damage your hearing. Wear a
sound-proofing (Oropax or ear muffs) to protect it. Long-term and
regular users are recommended to check your hearing regularly. Be
especially vigilant and careful when wearing hearing protection as it limits your
ability to hear warnings (cries, alarms, etc.).
WARNING: Some noise exposure from this device is unavoidable. Do not work in
noisy environments during approved and designated times. If necessary, observe rest
periods and limit the duration of work to the minimum required. For your personal
protection and the protection of persons in the vicinity, wear suitable hearing protection.

Notes on accessories
● Make sure that your product is only equipped with original accessories. Only use
original parts that are specified by the manufacturer. The use of any other
attachments or accessories may cause injury to the user and damage to the device.
● Clean the device thoroughly, especially the fuel tank and air filter. After using the
device, remove all fuel.
● If you approach a user of the device as a spectator, carefully attract his attention
and confirm that the user will stop the device. Please do not startle or distract the
user. Otherwise, you could cause an unsafe situation.
● Never touch the nylon cutting head or metal blade when the device is running. If it
is necessary to replace the guard or cutting tool, be sure that the device and cutting
tools have stopped.
● The device must be OFF before you change the working range.
● When starting or operating the device, never touch hot parts such as the exhaust,
ignition cables, or spark plug.
● After the device has stopped, the exhaust pipe is still hot. Never place the device
near inflammable materials (dry grass, flammable gases or liquids, etc.).
● Pay particular attention to the fact that the ground may be slippery when operating
the device in the rain or immediately after the rain.
● If you slip or fall to the ground, release the throttle immediately.
● Be careful not to drop the device or hit it against obstacles.
● Before adjusting or repairing the device, make sure that the device is stopped, and
the spark plug connector is removed.
● Before removing blockages, stop the device and remove the spark plug connector.
● If the device is to be stored for an extended period, drain the fuel from the fuel tank
and carburetor, clean the parts, place the device in a safe place and ensure that the
device has cooled down completely.
● Perform constant checks to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the device.
● Keep the device away from fire or sparks.
● Be careful when using the device. There is a risk of kickback and recoil.
● Use extreme caution when using this device with the cutting blade. A cutting blade
kickback is a reaction that can occur when the rotating cutting blade hits an object that cannot be cut.
This contact causes the cutting blade to stop for a moment and then suddenly repels
from the hit object with accelerated force. This kick-back reaction can be severe
enough that the operator loses control of the device. A cutter blade kickback can
occur without warning if the cutter blade encounters an obstacle, becomes blocked
or jams. This is more likely in areas where it is difficult to see the material being
cut. For easy and safe cutting, approach the weeds to be cut from your right to your
left side. If an object or stick of wood is hit unexpectedly, this can reduce a cutter

blade kickback.
Attaching the shoulder strap
Adjusting the carrying strap
Shoulder Strap
 Put your shoulder strap over one shoulder
 Adjust the strap length (with the attachment
attached) so that the spring hook is at the
height of your right hip
Attention
Never wear the belt diagonally over the shoulder and chest, but only on one shoulder, so
that you can quickly remove the device from your body in case of danger.

barefoot or without leg protection. In certain situations, you must
wear head protection.
WARNING DANGER
Do not cut with blunt, cracked or damaged metal sheets.
Before working, check the surface for obstacles such as stones, metal bars or
other objects. If they cannot be removed,
mark this position to avoid collision with
the blade. Lines can become entangled on the blade head and flap or be swirled in
the air.
